The event will be semi-formal (fancy pants)
For a guide, the bride will be in a blood red dragon corset and tailored pants, the groom in a yellow hi-vis kilt, collared shirt and vest.
The event places are air-conditioned, but is it the tail-end of summer in Brisbane, so it will be warm and humid outside
